Key Teaching Points:
- 1. Establish a stable base before adding any dynamic component.
- 2. Keep chest tall by driving elbows down on a goblet or front squat variation.
- 3. Neutral ribcage — avoid flaring ribs as you descend.
Regression:
Perform an air squat with a 3-second descent and pause at the bottom before adding any external load.
Progression:
Increase load with barbell, front squat, or add a pause at the bottom to remove elastic rebound.
Common Problems:
Knees caving inward — cue active push out against the floor. Heel rise — widen stance or elevate heels slightly.
